Synopsis

Mark Fallon is an overworked detective investigating a spate of attacks at a string of high profile city centre nightclubs. Scott is a dejected 24 year old struggling to make ends meet working for his brother and supplementing his income with a small-scale drug dealing operation. Angela is an attractive 23 year old, raised by her father, a career criminal and small time drug dealer who supplies Scott with cannabis. This is a chilling tale spanning a few months in the lives of Scott and Angela, where realizations about the present combine with shocking revelations from the past leading to an apocalyptic climax where they no longer know whom they can trust.

Review

"Ronald's prose is clean, sparse and a pleasure to read. I look forward to further books from this writer."Pursewarden"I completely devoured this book. I couldn't put it down. I had to know what was going to happen next."Mesmeric Review"The heart of The Elephant Tree is a murder mystery with an ending that many may not see coming. There is a lot of great psychological build up that all comes to a head at the end. Every once in a while you need to broaden your horizons and this is a great book to do just that.State of Review"The Elephant Tree is a well-written and original novel with an engrossing plot. Moreover, there is more depth to it than might be apparent the first time. Though this is one of those books that sucks you in right from the first page, it also takes a step away from the usual whodunnits. It's hard to believe this is the author's first novel."My Love Affair With Books"While the genre of crime fiction boasts several imaginative authors, The Elephant Tree benefits from author R. D. Ronald's unique intimate knowledge of the underground hierarchy and the inner monologues experienced by many of those involved making this a provocative read, not just for crime fiction readers, but also for those interested in true crime."Suite 101"The plot and characters were hypnotic and spellbinding!"Elite Magazine
